On An Authentic Samui Experience you will avoid the crowds and explore the cultural landscape of the island, seeing it from a local perspective.
The early start is a great chance to spot monks walking barefoot around the neighbourhood while the local people make merit offering them food. This is the ideal time to miss the noisy crowds, by visiting the local temples at a more solitary, reflective hour. Take in the magnificence of the Big Budda and Wat Plai Laem Temples as they should be; in peace. Visit the Hinta Hinyai (Grandmother & Grandfather Rocks) and discover parts of the island that you didn’t know existed.
This tour also gives superb photo opportunities. Capture uninterrupted and gorgeous photos of the sites without the busy crowd.
*the tour starts early in the morning but to experience the island at this time is truly beyond compare. you'll also be left with a full day of leisure and enjoy your hotel/ villa’s facilities all throughout the rest of the day.

So many sights to see. This is a nice tour to stop and visit.
This temple is definitely worth a visit. Very spiritual. There are quite a few shops dotted round and you can get food and drinks easily.
A interesting half day. A must while in Samui.

It was a very good experience for Discovering Koh Samui. We had a great & friendly tour guide, Ning & driver. We had so much fun on it especially my wife was able to experience a 10 minute head massage from the monk at the temple!!

We could visit all the major attractions in Samui. Unlike other tour agency, we were in a van with great a/c. Fortunately, it was like our private tour because there was only another 2 people from Australia with us.
The tour guide speaks english very well and she gave major information and enough time to see all attrations. Highly recommended
